The report issued by the Bureau o
Statistics shows that the facts ant
figures published from time to time
in the Globe-D Democrat concerning
the new Southern boom and the pos
sibilities of the future have erred on
the side of moderation rather than
exaggeratlon. The report deals with
each State, and is the result of a tour
of inspection made lastsummer and
fall by the chief Of the bureau and a
corps of assistants. The report Is a
heavy volume filled with facts, fig
ures and estimates, and it will inev-
itably lead to an increased rush of
capital to the Sunny South. One
thought must strike every reader.
Some countries prosper because of
the fertility of the soil, and because
there are good markets for the dis
posal of their agricultural products;
other nations or States force their
way into the front rank because of
their mining wealth; others become
wealthy because their leading cities
have grown into manufacturing GEN.

ries with articles of daily use. No
one, but all of these influences are
now at wOtk in the South. Its re-
sources have lain dormant for a quar-
ter of a century and more, but they
exist for all that, and their full ex-
tent is just beginning to be realized.
No longer is cOtton-gowing regarded
as the royal road to wealth. All
kinds Of agricultural work is being
undertaken, mines of inexhaustible
wealth are being opened out and
worked, manufactures are being
erected on every hand; and national
and commercial history will have
to s%tultify itself terribly if these COM
bined forces do not benefit the South

Washington. No southern persons invited
him to their houses, and when some of his
constituents had asked him for invitations to

the house Of some other important south

politics and his place i'll the presidents favor,
as well as his own graces, and he Instantly
offered tn procure the invitations Seward
at first accepted the favors but then declined
them; for he said he could not obtain invita-

would be obliged to explain his disagreeahle
social position But Sickles offered in afy
case where he was sufficiently intimate to
continue his applications, and Seward, OF
Course, was especially obliged.

him to the Capitol and stood by his side while

LINCOLN AND BUCHANAN.
HOW THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT
LISTENED TO DAN {. SICkLES,
Singular Incident Connected with
Lincoln's First Inaugural - Seward's
Embarrassing Position at the Capital.
AT the New Presidents Side.

After lincoln arrived in Washington in
disguise few days before his Inauguration
he was taken to the Capitol by Seward, who.
it was known, was to be his secretary of
state When the historic pair entered the
hall of the house of representatives the Re
publican members of course went up and
were presented to the president elect, who
had been personally known to very few of
them. But no southern or northern Demo
crat approached them. Sickles was Junior
member and did not feel entitled to lead in
any movement of this sort, but when he no.
ticed that no more important person of his
party stirred he turned to S. S. Cox, who sat
near him. is it proper to pay oul respects to
the president elect, he said; will YOU go up
with me! No one else on our side leads. z"
Cox consented and the two went forward,
and Seward presented them to Lincoln. Then
number of other Democrats followed their
example.
This incident made Seward feel kindly to
ward SiCkies, and he asked the member from
New York to call at his house: he had some
thing to say to him. The same night Sickles
paid the visit, and Seward then read him
several passages from l.ncoln's inaugural
speech, already prepared The tone of that
document was much more moderate than was
expected, as those who knew those times will
remember 1t promised no interference with
slavery If the southerners remained in the
Union or returned to it, and was universally
pronounced pacificatory and statesmanlike,
instead of warlike or exasperating. Sickles
was struck with its character and asked if
he might inform the president of what he had
learned Il thought you would be up to
something like that said Seward, and he
did not prohibit the repetition. OF course,
upon having the house, Sickles went direct
to the president with his news But Blu
chanan at first pooh hoohed him: DO you
believe that Lincoln will say ANYTHING like
that! Seward has been making game of
